How FUN! My son is 11 and STILL loves his Legos. He's got cities and scenes all over his room as we speak! I wish I'd have thought of a Lego party...he would have loved that. What we DID do one year was a Pirate party...complete with a treasure hunt through the neighborhood...it was fun AND frugal. Happy Birthday to Andrew...

I am sure it will be a wonderful party and Andrew will remember it fondly. I love how you build lasting memory moments with your children. I did not ever in my life have a birthday party as a child. Happy birthday to Andrew. Roxie

My little girl is turning 5 next week and we are finally entering the lego age. :) The time between the end of childhood and your first child's introduction of legos is known as the "dark period" among lego fanatics like my dh. He is so excited. We also bought an adorable hand made lego topped table which should make it even more fun. We don't usually have friend parties but I love the photo invite. Such a great idea.

I'll be following the plans carefully. ALl my boys love legos.Birthday parties (the kind with friends over and a theme) are an every other year thing at our house. And even that is a lot when you have 4 (soon to be 5) little ones. But I really love them. It's a nice time to collaborate with a child one on one and to teach hospitality. And to stretch my creativity a little. Can't wait to see what you and ANdrew come up with!

Meredith,Have you seen the Lego cakes? All you do is make a sheet cake and some cupcakes. Turn the cupcakes over onto the sheet cake in a Lego brick design and cover with your favorite Lego colored icing! Easy and cute! We did this with my son last year and it was a hit!

we had an awesome lego party two years ago. totally on a budget too. there's a "lego lady" in town who does parties but they cost an arm and a leg....we bought legos on ebay and had a ball. look forward to seeing what you do since i have another budding lego-fan in the house....

While I am so sorry I did not get to talk to you more at Blissdom, I am SO glad I now know about you and your wonderful family, blog and blogging style. I love the fact that you are a very busy mom like me(of course I think mom = busy:)and have found such a great way to blog - brevity but great content, including links and images...love it!

As for this birthday party, what a great idea!! I shall have to use that though in the future!

So sorry that you have all been so sick...hope you can recover and stay well!

Adorable! I love the banner - how ingenious! Kids don't know if parents spend 5 dollars on a party or 500! They just want to be with their friends having fun - and this certainly looked like a Lego Blast!
